The mill that stands today was built after the Civil War, replacing the Daniel Bowman mill which was destroyed during "The Burning" in the Shenandoah Valley in 1864. The nearby town of Dayton was almost burned also as a retaliation for the shooting death of a lieutenant, but the order was rescinded at the last minute.
Beautiful views indeed! xx
